How Can People Who Are Considered Less Attractive Be Happy?

For starters, you shouldn’t care what others think about how you look, because in the end not everyone who is considered beautiful in society is actually considered beautiful to everyone in the world. Stop calling yourself less attractive and just like yourself for who you are regardless. Just say to yourself I am pretty and say it with confidence. You care to much what others in society think of your beauty, so start by not caring what others think of how you look, and don’t compare your looks to someon elses.
I’ve been called sexy, beautiful, very cute, fine as hell, etc, etc by women, and some men(I find it strange when some men compliment me because I’m straight and some of them are gay, but I appreciate the it regardless. Plus I have no problem calling another male handsome if I think they are ..), but I don’t even take the compliments seriously. A few women have straight up told me they thought I’d be conceited, assumed I was or just found me intimidating because of my looks, which kind of made me laugh, yet once they got to know me they realized that I’m not the kind of person who is self-absorbed and I do not let compliments give me a swell head at all. Compliments mean nothing to me because I have a lot more to offer than just looks, but yes I do appreciate them. Looks are not everything.
I was blessed with intelligence and from what I’m told a great personality, so yes I am confident in my looks, but no I do not let my looks be the only thing that defines me, since there is a lot more to me. In other words you should be confident in your looks regardless and if you have the intelligence, personality and all those other good things you are golden.
Keep in mind that there are a lot of women who wear caked on make up so that they can feel beautiful because of what they see on tv and magazines, or some guys will buff up to make themselves feel good looking, so it’s a false sense of beauty. I have the muscles, I’m tall and all that too, but I’ve always enjoyed exercisng and working out, so I did it for me and my health, not to look good for anyone else. The only person who can make you think you are beautiful is you, no one elses opinion matters when it comes to something like that, and you should change the way you think and call yourself a pretty lady instead of trying to compare yourself to what others in society think of as beautiful, then you will find yourself becoming more confident and happy.

Heh,
Well, at least from my perspective, there are two things that make a woman attractive: physical characteristics and mental characteristics. Nietzsche once quipped that if a woman is really smart, there must be something wrong with her sexuality. The same thing often happens in men who are really smart- they couldn’t compete on a physical level. Those who can’t compete on either lose the mating game with less desirable partners or no partners.
Smart (and mentally stable) people tend to have extra self-discipline and are naturally happier from the greater opportunities they have from their increased knowledge and reasoning. When more attractive, but less intellectually developed people get older, they tend to lose what they’ve known to covet and have less to fall back on. Barring a medical incident, knowledge, wisdom, and reasoning will usually continue to grow on an exercised mind. As society continues to develop, intellect will generally outpace the physical, so particularly intelligent women are far more attractive to me.. especially if they have more superficial signs of health and, naturally, sexuality.
In the past, when I’ve spent too much time trying to look good, I was less aware, more needy, and even pretentious to a degree. I was never really happy with myself, but based my emotions on what others thought of me. Times when I’ve not looked as good are usually times that I was depressed or preoccupied with something else.
When I’m really happy doing something else, happiness comes from inside or externally, but not from hollow emotions. I’ve largely stopped trying to look good for many years (even though I am trying to get started in fashion design), and genuinely look like a disheveled mess, but am quite happy. As a general trend, the less appealing I look, the happier and more goal-oriented I actually am.
And, of course, happiness doesn’t just come from qualities which influence mating success. Life is tough, but there are so many awesome things here that it’s hard to run out of doors which lead to happiness. Pay attention, and embrace creativity and discovery with open arms..

Uhm, that doesn’t make logical sense, but I suppose I have seen it.
I’ve seen less attractive people who wish they were pretty and are upset because of it, but some less attractive people might be either ignorant that they’re considered less attractive or they simply do not care and just focus on being a good person, which is what we all should do.

It’s all about your aura and how much you believe in your self.Then you impart the same to others.If you don’t believe to your self and feel bad for you them and the others will feel the same about you.

try to be better person, wiser, diligent, polite, tender and compassionate. by being good to people they will return good for good and you will feel happier.

well i think that being happy is something in only dreams, at some moment in life it becomes a dream and i do think any1 can be happy so believe in your self and one day u will be happy

because they dont feel the need to obsess about makeup etc. also, maybe their just happy with who they are. after all, nobody IS perfect. You just gotta learn to like yourself the way u r

uhm,….
because they learn better values than having beauty

They have inner beauty and a high self esteem…
